William Wilberforce, the British parliamentarian and abolitionist, told his colleagues, “Having heard all of this, you may choose to look the other way, but you can never say again that you did not know.”

A Mesa resident was shot in the ankle and taken to a nearby hospital following a disagreement about which state in Mexico is better.

Jose Antonio Lopez, 17, and another man in his 20s whose name was not released were sitting in the living room of a home near Stapley Drive and Broadway Road on Saturday discussing which of their home states in Mexico “was the better place to live,” according to Mesa police.

The disagreement turned violent when Lopez's adversary pulled out a gun and shot him in the ankle. The shooter took off before police arrived.

Lopez was taken to the hospital with wounds that were not considered life-threatening, police said.

ME: HEY! If your home is so great it's worth getting shot over GO HOME!!!
